I've been also diagnosed with psychogenic non epileptic seizures. PNES is more with the mental aspects of having epilepsy. Such as different therapys, CBT therapy, goga, meditation. PNES is anxiety, stress or depression from having and living with epilepsy. It helps gives tools to help with triggers of stress, anxiety. It is more mental therapy along with treating the epilepsy, which contributes to the PNES.
